Dead Rising BoxDead Rising follows one scoop-hungry freelance photographer's journey, into a town where the only things hungry are its inhabitants that have become zombies. Frank West, trudges into the depths of Willamette Parkview Mall in pursuit of the scoop of a lifetime.

Armed only with his camera and various objects that he picks up at the mall, Frank battles zombies while trying to get the perfect shot. The object of the game is for him to take the best photo of someone being eaten alive, battling the undead or a family reunited in the thick of the bloodshed, in order for him to gain "prestige points." This also works as a level up for him, as he gets bonus points like additional life bar, weapon slot or combat skill.

Apart from main story missions, that will gain you access to more powerful weapons in the game, there are also mini games known as "scoops" that he has to accomplish to get more points and of course quality pictures. Also, try to take full advantage of the location. The mall is a very good place to shop for weapons, like CD cases that can be thrown at zombies like shurikens, a bucket that can be put over an enemy's head; and since it's the football season, a soccer ball, it may not be deadly, but it would sure be a lot of fun toppling over a corpse. Frank can also get some materials in the mall to improve his skills as a photographer, like books or instructional magazines.

Dead Rising is scheduled for release in North America this August and September in Europe. Thanks to Vecha for the heads up.
